How do i allow the Guests, and indeed Bots, to view Attachments on my forum?
If you go to the following topic on my forum, if your not logged in, you will see that you can only see that there is attachments there, you cant see what they actually are (images): http://www.xboxlivefan.org/viewtopic.php?f=196&t=4059

Logged in member can view the images in the attachments, but as I say people who are looged out and im guessing bots, etc.. to cant view them. Can someone let me know what I do in the ACP settings to get it so that everyone and bots, etc.. included can view what the attachments are? Thanks! 😛
 
I'm assuming you have tried to change guest/bot permissions? If not then the answer probably lies there.
 
Yeah, tried all the ACP options, permissions, etc.. that I could find, but still.. People have to be logged in to see what the attachments are, they can only see that there is an attachment there, but cant see what it is 😛
 
I'm sure that certain forum softwares are built this way, so there might not be anything you can do. I'm sure it was done to prevent bots/guests downloading stuff from sites without becoming a member first.
 
phpBB's website says should you should be able to do this by checking both the overall group and individual forum's permissions. Have you double checked that it is allowed everywhere? One no, overrides a million yes's on phpBB, it's annoying.
